Question 3 of 5

In planning care for children, the nurse considers children's anxiety about hospitalization. Which measure should be included in the child's plan of care to help reduce anxiety?

Correct Answer: A

Counseling (choice C) may be beneficial but is not as specifically tailored to reduce anxiety in the hospital setting as therapeutic play. Movies (choice D) may provide a temporary distraction but do not actively involve the child in addressing their emotions and fears associated with hospitalization.
